Consider the launch of the space shuttle. from launch to its orbital altitude, it goes up 400 km. charlie calculates the change in gravitational potential energy in the shuttle-earth system by using the equation mgh, where m is the mass of the shuttle, g is the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the earth, and h is the 400 km. deval, on the other hand, calculates the change in gravitational potential energy in the shuttle-earth system by using the equation -gmm/r to find the initial potential energy, where m is the mass of the earth, and r is the radius of the earth, and subtracting the initial potential energy from the final potential energy, calculated using -gmm/(r+h). who does this calculation correctly? select the single best statement about this from the statements below.

they both get it right - the two calculations give the same answer

The air in an automobile tire with a volume of 2.60 ft3 is at 70°f and 21 psig. determine the amount of air that must be added to raise the pressure to the recommended value of 30 psig. assume the atmospheric pressure to be 14.6 psia and the temperature and the volume to remain constant. the gas constant of air is ru = 53.34ft⋅lbflbm⋅r(1 psia144 lbf/ft2) = 0.3704 psia⋅ft3lbm⋅r the amount of air that must be added to raise the pressure is lbm
